Sorta Sketchy: Improving Communication with Visual Language
More than ever, UX professionals need to communicate across teams and across the globe. Sketching can help bridge these distances visually.
July 31, 2021
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. CST (Chicago and Dallas, USA)
and
6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. CST (Chicago and Dallas, USA)
Interactive Workshop
Can you draw a line; straight or otherwise?
Can you draw something kind of box…ish?
Can you draw a shape that is mostly round?
Can you write the alphabet…any alphabet?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, YOU GOT THIS!
More than ever, we need to clearly share ideas across town, across cultures, or across the globe. Sketching is a great way to bridge these distances. Visual language in just about any form can cut through confusion and create understanding. If you have or want a career in UX, creating understanding is at the heart of everything you do.
To get the most out of this workshop, you don’t need to draw comics like Stan Lee (I sure the hell can’t). In THIS workshop you’ll leave with a set of basic skills you can use to communicate clearly, quickly, and successfully with items you can find around the house.
Speaker

An Ode to Co-Creation: A UX Research Method
Planning things with others is a key part of UX. Come learn about the creation process with others and how it informs research and strategy.

When you plan or make something with others, do you think of it as a method or a philosophy?
This talk aims to explain different dimensions of co-creation with a bit of theory, a dash of case studies, and a sprinkle of takeaways. In all, this will be a critical appreciation for the creation process with others and how it informs research and strategy.
